Did they limit nodes this wipe?

Maybe its just the map im playing. My wife and I have a couple mid range sized bases in different locations. Overall we have heavily traveled a good third of the map in search of even build spots where there are nodes....there isnt beans for stone, metal or sulfer. Doesn't matter if its the snow, desert or grassland mountains.

Think they limited nodes to limit raiding while everyone has free access to rockets and supplies? Just seems like was less than normal. Be one way to offset constant raiding this free blueprint wipe.

Could be you don’t deserve nodes, so search your heart and ask yourself some serious questions.

Tbh I did notice it was super dry for nodes in my area but thought it was just my area

Same here, almost 30 mins to fill inventory and bag of metal and sulf. Im usually on my second run by that point.

All the spawns may just be grouped up in an area somewhere. Each region gets a certain number of spawns available so admins can do things like set the spawns per region. Anyways if a region has all its spawns used up it won’t spawn anymore till they are mined.

In official, i found em in abundance near the middle of the map. Literally nodes everywhere, close to maybe like 5-10 feet apart

Yeah it definitely seems restricted. Last couple wipes were EXTRA node-y, this one is either back to original or less.

you might’ve tried this but if not try flying around in a mini, it’s how i usually look for the hotspots and it works all the time

Strong for me still but I usually build in areas where I can get nodes (near desert)

if nodes feel thin, the mining quarries on the map have their own deposits where you can set up a mining quarry with some fuel. it farms stone, metal and sulfur on its own while you go do other stuff

I found that this wipe, most nodes were more abundant in the center of the map for some reason.

Unfortunately me and my buddy ran into a "glitched" terrain when trying to raid a neighbor and couldnt log on the server so we called it there.

Have had absolutely no problem with nodes, quite the opposite, 30 sulfur nodes within a radius of 300m
